Political Watch: new congress sworn in
Wisdom
Reported by The Thai Gazette from the Congress
- Bangkok - The new eThailand congress, comprising of many well-known dignitaries and some new faces, has been sworn in today after one of the fiercest election races in the eThai history.
40 candidates, from four parties and five regions, have formed the congress that would last from December 26, 2008 to January 25, 2009. The TNT party has captured the most seats with 17 congressmen, followed by TRP with 11 seats, Sabai Unity Party with seven, and Nobelis with five.
Included in the new congress are some of the best-known figures in eThailand including former president Jack Roberts, TNT party president Antonio Salgado, TRP leader Ealb, and SUP leader Guy Kilmore.
Other members are mostly old faces who have served in a previous congress, including Wisdom (TRP), SpeedKing (TRP), Legendario (TNT), and FBO87 (TNT), all of whom third-timer statesmen.
New faces do make it the congress too, most notably Splash_OS (TNT) who receives the most votes and Vectoor (TRP) who currently has the highest experience points in the country.
Among the 15 candidates who failed to grab a congress seat are Nobelis party president ImperadorT and satirist Tom "Joe Blow" Vousielle (SUP).
Lastly but not the least, TRP member and former congressman Ziper holds the distinction of being the only candidate who did not receive a single vote. He did not make it to the congress.

Congratulations everyone!
Yeah. I hope we can work together here from now to make a better Thailand.
Congratulations, friends!
Where and how do we deposit the 5 gold? I hope a transparent process be put in place.
mew, thailand treasure, click in the flag, and then donate, i already did it 😁
Thank you to all voters for taking time to vote on Christmas.
Thailand is better and better every day due to our great citizens. Hopefully this will be the most progressive month yet.
Donated my five 5 gold to the country as well, I don't care about the gold, just wanted to propose a single law.
thank you Thailand
Donated my gold, but there doesn't actually seem to be a list of donations to and from the treasury. Its not even listed on my donations page. 🙁
Congrats to our new congress!
That IS strange Karlito. I only donated 1 gold to the treasury and I don't see it in the donation history either. I also checked Antonio's list and it's completely empty. It would seem there is a bug with the donation history. In this case it isn't really a big deal since it's essentially charity. I'm more concerned about future government transparency when we need to move money around.
...the Iron Bank donation history is also empty. We have an expense record in our outside forum. It would just be nice to have it verified by the game's donation history.
i also tryed to check 🙁
